    Fuck off fascists.

    Though if you’d like to visit Portland, please enjoy the flowers, the trees, grab some coffee, and try some food cart cuisine— you’ll love it. There ain’t shit going down in Portland other than we hate fucking fascists.

    The Minnesota Star Tribune obtained images of Salisbury’s Signal messages, which it said were sent while the official was “in clear view of others” in Minnesota.

    They still haven’t learned.

    If they’re truly elite, they’ll quit on the spot when the orders go out. There is no justification in the world that will protect them from becoming the enemy of their own countrymen.

      As in America is a joke for engaging in this, or as in America has no clue what actual martial law looks like? Neither? Both?

        No, I experienced actual martial law in the United States during the Boston Marathon Bombing aftermath.

        Men with guns in the streets telling you to get the fuck inside. Total lockdown. Forced military inspection of homes. Military control of civilian spaces. Commerce halted (by order of the men with guns).

        So, wrong on all counts. And I do not give a fuck if the US never called it martial law. Words have definitions. Just like Genocide and Insurrection.

      Because these is nothing to do. Literally. I’m sure they’ll instigate something.

        The military won’t. Especially guys trained like this. Everything the regime is doing is meant to scare people into submission and I don’t think they’re very happy with the lack of success in that regard.

        The feds though? After the way they chased and tackled a guy for throwing a sandwich at them, and how they happily abduct families and generally don’t care about people’s safety in general? They sure as fuck will…

          The fascists are trying to pressure people into an armed reaction so they can declare martial law and cancel elections

        And if nobody takes the bait, the administration just declares that they’ve saved Portland and it’s peaceful there now, you’re welcome.

    Imagine being in the special forces, standing on the streets of portaland, going national guard duty stuff… I gues they atleast are getting paid a decent hire.

        That actually involves being slightly helpful. This is just security guard stuff. Paul Blart would be overqualified for this.
